Windows 10 is the most popular operating system in the world, butMicrosofthas announced that as of now it will no longer be receiving new features. To make matters worse, there is now a ticking clock for when security updates will cease and users will be left to fend for themselves.In an updatedclient roadmap, Microsoft Product Manager, Jason Leznek, promised that while “all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases” until October 14th 2025, that “We [Microsoft] highly encourage you to transition toWindows 11now.” But it’s not necessarily as easy as downloading the new OS.Many older machines don’t meet the system requirements to run Windows 11 (perhaps you should check out thebest cheap laptopsif you need to make a speedy upgrade) and it still doesn’t have all the features of Windows 10, such as the ability to move the taskbar from the bottom of the screen.
This has left millions with a decision to make: keep using Windows 10 even once the security updates finish, putting themselves at risk, or upgrade to a new machine, not always within everyone’s budget, especially during these uncertain times. Leaving the majority of its customers on soon-to-be defunct operating system is certainly an interesting choice from Microsoft.
